By Uma Abhyankar October 26, 2015

Cutney Podi is a dry multipurpose chutney that adds a special taste to many foods like, Idly, Dosa, Dhirde, and so on. It also serves as a great meal accompaniment with roti or rice, and is a healthy replacement for any pickle. Try sprinkling on a toast of bread for an awesome taste!
